Re: What is the single most influential cable for sound quality in an audio system?
My experience is that the effect cables have on the end product is cumulative. Reduction in the quality of any one cable will result in a loss of sound quality.

Re: Walter Becker, Steely Dan co-founder, dead at 67
I have been a fan of Steely Dan since Reeling in The Years. Saw them in concert a couple of times. Just saw Donald Fagan a couple of weeks ago. What a loss. I am greatly saddened.
RIP Mr. Becker....

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
